Re: Mail Username

You can add extra info into the appropriate fields like so. mail("nobody@example.com", "the subject", $message, "From: webmaster@yourhostname.com","-fwebmaster@yourhostname.com"); However, your local sendmail might restrict this behavoir of changing the sender identity. Mine simply complaines about it in the mail logs, but does change the from information like I wish. Look here for more details: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php On Tue, 10 Jun 2003, Josh Thomas wrote: >-I know that if you use sendmail to perform your mailings in php that the >-sender shows up as the user and group for Apache.
